Rebelution Members:
Eric Rachmany - Vocals/Guitar
Marley Williams - Bass
Wesley Finley - Drums
Rory Carey - Keyboards
Rebelution first united in Santa Barbara, California, built from a wide array of musical backgrounds. With Reggae as the focus, the group set out to create a fresh and vibrant sound which they dub California Reggae. The band released their highly anticipated full-length album in June of 2007 and just weeks after its release, “Courage to Grow” became one of the most downloaded Reggae albums on iTunes. By the end of the year, it had been awarded the iTunes Editors Choice: Best Reggae Album 2007.
"Apparently, California Reggae is hot. Stemming from a foundation of local support, Rebelution soared into iTunes Reggae Top 10 (album downloads), amongst some lofty company. Lofty like Bob, Stephen, and Damian Marley." -- Santa Barbara News-Press
Rebelution's dynamic sound is led by diverse vocalist and guitarist Eric Rachmany. Together with the elevating melodies of Rory Carey keyboards and hard-hitting beats by bass player Marley D. Williams and drummer Wesley Finley, the band will make you move both physically and mentally.
"If you love Bob Marley, Sublime, and Jack Johnson and you're a regular on the State Street scene, then chances are you're already crazy about Rebelution. Their combination of reggae, hip-hop, and rock have made them a favorite of music lovers all over town." -- The Santa Barbara Independent
Within the last year, Rebelution has made a name for themselves with their iTunes success and performances with notable artists like Barrington Levy, Israel Vibration, Junior Reid, Don Carlos, Pepper, Eek-A-Mouse, Pato Banton, Tanya Stephens, Half Pint, SOJA, Yellowman, Talib Kweli, E-40, and The Pharcyde. Rebelution has already proven themselves in the musical arena and intends to further expand their success with a sound that confidently claims itself unique.

If you got Courage to Grow, and are thinking of getting this, DO IT! Some of the songs are the 'same' but totally different. I was actually at a concert recently and their live performance matched up better with this version of Attention Span. Also, you get one of the most revealing songs of all, 'What I Know', which signals a lot of potential for the band. It's actually one of my favorite songs!
Courage to Grow
author: ShannonI really love this cd, I actually bought it for a friend and he turned me on to it. I am actually addicted and would love to see you guys in concert. When do you come out to Northern Cali? I just moved out here from OC. Well I say get your butt out here and rastafah me!!! I NEED REBELUTION.
Courage To Grow
author: Jamie SilvaThey say music moves you in a way that only you understand! Rebelution with their unique sound has,proven to be the next best thing in my opinion to some of the greatest reaggae legends. All of their songs include a meaningful positve vibe,and if compared to "Bob Marley" might as well be the same. Wishing Rebelution great sucsess and keep up the positve vibebration. Your music is the shit........ Love and Aloha All the way from Honolulu Hi, Jamie
Matt Velasquez IS THE BEST!

This CD is nasty. I've also had it in my car on repeat for about 2 weeks now. Only five songs but they are sick. I just hope the band makes it up to northern cali sometime.
I never take it out of my cd player.
author: Nicole FullerThis cd is only five songs long, but I keep it spinning in my car for hours and never get tired of it. It's like a soundtrack for life. Get the good vibes and good sounds playing in your own head. It's the kind of music you can feel deep but it makes your day lighter. Rock on Rebelution.
